Revolutionizing Sheet Metal Design: Integrating CAD with ERP for Real-Time Quoting
A seamless connection between design and business operations is transforming the sheet metal industry.
Today's Challenges in Sheet Metal Design
|
Disconnected Systems
Design teams work in CAD while
estimating happens in separate systems, creating information silos. |
Delayed Quoting
Manual transfer of design
specifications to estimating tools causes significant time delays. |
Accuracy Issues
Human interpretation of complex
sheet metal designs leads to pricing errors and project delays. |
These challenges reduce profits and make customers less satisfied in sheet metal projects.
The Integration Solution: Connecting Design and Business
|
Modern tools link sheet metal CAD systems with ERP software to ensure smooth data flow:

How CAD-ERP Integration Works
-
Design Creation
Engineers design sheet metal parts in CAD software, adding all material and fabrication details. -
Automated Data Transfer
Integration tools pull key info like material, thickness, bends, and processes from the CAD file. -
Real-Time Calculation
The ERP system uses this data to instantly calculate material costs, production time, and tooling needs. -
Instant Quote Generation
A complete, customer-ready quote is generated within minutes—saving time and improving accuracy.
